February 14th, Valentines Day was such a sweet day for me and my family. When Jon came home for lunch we gave Lucy her valentine. One of the little things we got her was a pack of Strawberry Shortcake stickers. When she saw them she said , "cool!" My sweet and thoughtful hubby gave me a gift that will last all year! I get to pick a piece of paper out of a jar once a week and I get the treat that is written on it! The best part of this gift, and I told him so, is that he sat and thought of each unique thing based on what he knows I like! I am already writing down what each week's gift is so you can read all about it...in a year!
I actually started this post about 4 weeks ago. That's when the sickness came. My husband got a nasty stomach bug, that the rest of us escaped. He got a cold a few days later. Then Lucy caught it. That accounts for about 2 weeks. All was well for a few days, then Lucy started running fever again, then Jon did, then I did, then baby Emma did. We seem to finally be over it except for a lingering cough. Getting sick just set you back on everything!
My little baby Lucy is turning 3 this Saturday! She's growing up so fast. She is a girly girl. She loves dresses and anything frilly. She likes to dress up and be a princess. She calls me Queen Mommy! She is very smart. She remembers everything! Sometimes I wonder if she has a photographic memory. She likes to play with her toys in groups. She plays with "like" things. For instance she plays with all of her stuffed monkeys at once (his makes me wonder, why do we have so many stuffed monkeys?!) and all of her ponies at once. She has two Barbie toys from her Happy Meals that she plays with together. Do all kids do this? I've never seen her "mix and match" unless the toys were all similar in size! She has started rolling her eyes and sighing when I want her to do something. She also bows to me when I tell her to ask politely for something and not demand it. I guess bowing is polite! When she wants a hug she says, "Let's love." I waited 4 years for her and it was worth every moment. She is so wonderful It is impossible to describe in words just how wonderful she is. Her sweet little face. Her sweet little voice. I'm tearing up just thinking about it! God gave me the greatest gift, the most rewarding gift, the most precious gift 3 years ago this Saturday. My Lucy.
